Technetra : Innovation or Patent Colonialism

Technetra : Innovation or Patent Colonialism: "Developing countries are being pressured constantly by Microsoft and its supporters to believe that free software is more expensive than its own products and services. Brazil, a key battlefield in this war, has officially countered that whatever the expense, free software supports its national interests in helping build a local infrastructure, promoting local innovation and nurturing its fledgling economy."

The ignorance problem is extreme in the developed world, despite internet and all newspapers and TV-channels. The developing world is sometimes smarter despite the lack of information. DONT overestimate the knowledge in the developed world.
